Bipolar Depression
Conditions
Brief summary
The study evaluates the efficacy and safety of SM-13496 compared with placebo in patients with Bipolar I Depression.
Detailed description
The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of SM-13496 (20-60 or 80-120 mg/day) monotherapy with that of placebo in patients with depressive symptoms associated with bipolar I disorder by assessing the change from baseline in the MADRS total score at Week 6.
Interventions
Placebo comparator
SM-13496 20mg for Days 1-7 and beginning Day 8 flexibly dosed 20-60 mg/day for Weeks 2-6

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change From Baseline in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Week 6 | Baseline to 6 weeks | Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)is a clinician-rated assessment of a subject's level of depression. The MADRS total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 60. For the MADRS total score, low scores indicate a better outcome and high scores indicate a worse outcome. When change from baseline is considered, a negative (decrease in score) value is considered a better outcome, and a positive (increase in score) value is considered a worse outcome. The MADRS contains ten (10) items. The total score is computed as the sum of the scores for the 10 items. |

| Change From Baseline in the SDS Total Score at Week 6 (LOCF) | Baseline to 6 weeks | Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) total score is a subject-rated assessment of a subject's level of functional impairment in work/school, social life and family life/home responsibilities. The SDS total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 30. For the SDS total score, low scores indicate a better outcome and high scores indicate a worse outcome. When change from baseline is considered, a negative (decrease in score) value is considered a better outcome, and a positive (increase in score) value is considered a worse outcome. The SDS contains three (3) items. The total score is computed as the sum of the scores for the 3 items. |
| Change From Baseline in the CGI-BP-S (Depression) Score at Week 6 | Baseline to 6 weeks | Clinical Global Impression Bipolar Version, Severity of Illness (CGI-BP-S) score (depression) is a clinician-rated assessment of a subject's level of depression. The CGI depression score ranges from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 7. For the CGI depression score, low scores indicate a better outcome and high scores indicate a worse outcome. When change from baseline is considered, a negative (decrease in score) value is considered a better outcome, and a positive (increase in score) value is considered a worse outcome. |
| Change From Baseline in the YMRS Total Score at Week 6 | Baseline to 6 weeks | YMRS (Young Mania Rating Scale) is a clinician-rated assessment of the severity of mania in subjects with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. The YMRS total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 60. For the YMRS total score, low scores indicate a better outcome and high scores indicate a worse outcome. When change from baseline is considered, a negative (decrease in score) value is considered a better outcome, and a positive (increase in score) value is considered a worse outcome. The YMRS contains eleven (11) items. The total score is computed as the sum of the scores for the 11 items. |
| Change From Baseline in the HAM-A Total Score at Week 6 (LOCF) | Baseline to 6 weeks | The Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A) scale is a rating scale developed to quantify the severity of anxiety symptomatology. The HAM-A total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 56. For the HAM-A total score, low scores indicate a better outcome and high scores indicate a worse outcome. When change from baseline is considered, a negative (decrease in score) value is considered a better outcome, and a positive (increase in score) value is considered a worse outcome. The HAM-A contains fourteen (14) items. The total score is computed as the sum of the scores for the 14 items. |
